The Herald is a weekly newspaper, devoted to religious political, scientific and general information. It was established in 1863, and has been published by the Herald Printing Company since 1882.

In politics the Herald is Liberal-Conservative. It has faith in the future greatness of our Dominion and believes in “ Canada for the Canadians.”

The aim of the present owners of the Herald is to make it one of the most instructive, interesting and widely read family newspapers in the Maritime Provinces. That they are succeeding in the attainment of this object is evidenced by its rapidly increasing circulation.
